Not my ahh trapped in the mall so fancy the men have plastic surgery too

Louise Glück, from The Wild Iris (1992)

The primary end-goal of the entire conservative establishment is to monopolize groping children, so this was only a matter of time www.instagram.com/p/DSke0sNgH5...

You can do anything so long as it's for puss in boots. We should be coming up with reasons like this for conservation

Start to finish some of the funniest shit I have ever read share.google/bQScuIUHQLd5...

Just heard a haim song with the lyric "I feel happy and sad / And it makes me so mad" and I had to simply turn off the radio

None of these words are in the bible

I'll say it: I don't get the Los Thuthanaka hype

Why Do They All Look Like This

Not gonna take culture notes from someone who misuses "Proustian"

If data center water/energy usage isn't so big a concern, great. They can keep em in California and Texas then.

If you need a little digital reconnection to the pulse of the living Earth, here are about 200 sandhill cranes winging south over Atlanta this afternoon. Their voices have echoed across this continent for at least 5 million years. Hopefully 5 million more

Yes, when a fellow’s soaked through, it’s hard to be sensible, that’s a fact.

One more W.S. Merwin, this time from Present Company (2005)

OP's admission is that law enforcement cannot help themselves from wantonly targeting children

-6°F with the sundogs out. Omens of a good winter

Bro probably thinks the stuff he says to his tv impacts the football game too

First nordic ski of the year. Ascending

My Somali-Minnesotan neighbors have far more right to be in the twin cities than the ICE agents who, I cannot stress enough, should abruptly conclude their own lives

The only genre more boring than biography/"biopic" is memoir. Congrats on being a person who has experienced. What am I supposed to do with this.

Another lovely Merwin from The Vixen (1996)

I use "god's own _abytes" for datasets at work, nobody ever knows the reference

Here's another W.S. Merwin, this time from The Vixen (1996)

Rabid, foaming at the mouth, scaring local children with excitement

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

Peter has failed to account for the fact that I'm dancing to the "down up up up" rhythm with one huge hip thrust. The extra weak beat gives me even more recovery time, so this single thrust is more than twice as sexually powerful as the combined two thrusts in a "up down up down" rhythm

Don't see how anyone other than Patricia Smith could get the nod for national book award in poetry this year but still waiting to hear

W.S. Merwin (from 2008's pulitzer prize winning Shadow of Sirius)

W.S. Merwin on his shift away from punctuation and syntax:

Becoming an axe guy (sorry)

Early winter backpacking has challenges, but it has great rewards as well

Well, I'd like to see ol Donny Trump wriggle his way out of THIS jam!

Deeply disappointing! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/a...

Earlier sunset only further contributes to the enhancement of my powers building into winter. Nordic skiing in pitch black at 4:35pm is my peak

Alright, time to get ready for the damn florida panthers to get the stanley cup again

God exists only to punish us

The poll-ification of american civic discourse is a disaster; another so-called science actively eroding truth claims

Good one from our current poet laureate

What an awful end to a game
